When spiders aren't scary enough...

Cyriak has made a lot of videos featuring lots of Body Horror. It's not surprising why it deserves to have a Nightmare Fuel page of its own.


  • "The Spirit of Christmas". An utterly monstrous worm-nosed reindeer with insect-like legs breaks into a kid's room and gorily drills the kid's face with a Christmas tree that comes out of the mouth of a zombie-like Santa head that sprouts out of its butt. It has to be seen to be believed. Say goodbye to your childhood-and quite possibly your sanity.
  • "Cobwebs". If you're an arachnophobe, this video is definitely not for you. The most disturbing part is definitely the spiders with human body parts.
  • "Malfunction". An absolutely hideous creature with faces all over its body, tongues for legs and a recursive head made from an infinite number of Cyriak faces vomiting each other out travels through 50s suburbia and corrupts it into a nightmarish mess with everything twisting and growing faces. To say it's disturbing doesn't even begin to cover it.
  • "something". 1950s stock footage, and things have been done to it. Terrible, terrible things. People's heads grow extra eyes and extra mouths sticking their tongues out before turning into long twisting masses of eyes and mouths stretching into spirals and forming double helixes, all the while a 50s clip of home economics progressively glitches out.
  • "Indigestion" is easily one of the most twisted animations Cyriak has ever made, taking the viewer through a flesh tunnel filled with many horrifying things such as crab-like creatures made of eyes and fingers and tongues with teeth forming all over the tunnel. The music serves to make the experience maddening.
  • "Baa" is a movie about a lamb. It looks nice, until it starts spitting out sheep-colored organs from itself. Two-headed sheep that spawn more of itself out of a mouth on its back with teeth made of sheep ears, a long-necked sheep with legs growing from its head vomiting out crawling tentacled sheep heads, a living sheep engine with gears made of rotating sheep heads assembling sheep helicopters that fly away one by one and finally culminating in a tiny sheep riding a faceless phallic creature made of sheep tails spitting out sheep with A Head at Each End, before it suddenly cuts to...a normal sheep, who says "Baa!" before the clip cuts abruptly.
  • "hand fingers" may be a little smoother than the other animations, but it's still a good example of Body Horror.
  • "MEOW". A gory animated music video about a graphic zombie invasion. Starring adorable kittens.
  • Cyriak's music video for Sparks' "Existential Threat", which is a song about a man completely losing his mind over paranoid agoraphobia. Quite possibly the creepiest part would be the protagonist receiving some pills from a doctor who then suddenly morphs into a monstrous creature with a wide smile, syringes for hair and scalpels for fingers. The video never clarifies if this is actually happening or if the protagonist is hallucinating.
    • The entire video is full of typical horrors made manifest as crawling, horrific monsters. Paranoia about what's really in the medicine you're taking, infrastructure failure poisoning everyone, economic collapse, all of it ending with a nuclear war, the end of the world, and the heat death of the universe as the stars, including the Sun, all go supernova.
  • His video for "My Territory" by Grand Popo Football Club features scenes such as a pair of scissors cutting through a landscape made of flesh, interspaced with blinking and moving eyes. He himself described it as "a foot fetishist's nightmare".
  • "Betray" by Light features the thoughts of an unhappily married woman who eventually snaps and plots to kill her husband using a kitchen knife. Adding to this is the fact that this is played completely seriously.
